Hey folks...
Well, I missed the severe weather again. I was stuck at work again this evening, as the severe weather rolled through Srn Indiana. It appears that a Tornado Watch was issued and there were reported tornadoes. Evidently, one has been confirmed in Rush County, IN. The 11:00 news here in Indy has shown some damage from a close-call in Rushville. Looks like a weak tornado hit, as the damage didn't look too extensive to me. The video on the news was obviously dark, since the storm hit at a late hour. It looked like it was mostly tree damage, with minimal structural damage to a farmstead.
Another botched chase! Ugh! Oh well... Maybe one of these days, I'll have that "decent" job that gives me those day shifts so I can have these afternoons and evenings to chase! After tonight, I'm hoping it'll be soon.
Even though it was a Friday night and considering Friday nights are a popular "pizza" night, we were swamped beyond reason. I was a little excited at the fact I'd be working "front of house" for the first time (for a whole shift, anyway). But, it really wasn't a great experience. Customers were complaining quite a bit about waiting on food and cold food. I'm sorry, folks, but when you get behind on 20 delivery orders, 30 dine-ins, and 10 or so carry-outs - there's only so much 3 people can do on a maketable to get pizzas made and into the oven!! If your THAT busy, of course you're not going to get things done as fast. C'mon...
Anywho, gonna keep this post short - I'm exhausted and my feet (and lower-back) are killing me. My lower back has been killing me for days now. I think I did something to it. The aspirin will hopefully take care of it, eventually.
Take care of yourselves...
73!

Hi Matt....
I found your website through MartinaVille. You've got some amazing storm chasing photos! What an exciting carreer/hobby!! How great that your work is also your hobby. Not everyone is that lucky! I read that you were waiting to hear about a job in Houston. I am from the Dallas area. Texas would be a wonderland for you and your chosen field. Good luck on the job.
